A Hardcore Exchange
compulsive scrolling
focus ... on and on
no circumspection
economy, in my back
pocket, a matrix
upon my lap, love
replaced with likes
the glint in your eye
blurred with digital
cataracts, smudged
fingerprints, on my virtual
pixelated windowsill
pebbles thrown
instead of kisses
oxytocin for dopamine
a hardcore
exchange
fabricated entities
veneer and silicone
an electric mechanism
a florid signature
in binary
pretend reality
internet stars
naught but zeroes
simple ones
glint for smudges
oxytocin for dopamine
kisses for pebbles
love traded for likes
